It's about the relationship between humans and technology, about the design of technology. It's about how we can get our lives back by dropping technology addiction. Technology has two big problems: it's difficult to access and it's addicting. I want to make my listeners' lives better by opening their eyes to the design and use of technology. My goal is to change the way you look at the world and make it a better place.

MABA-MABA: The Dance Between Human and Artificial Intelligence
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence through the lens of the MABA-MABA principle – "Men Are Better At, Machines Are Better At". Originally developed by Paul Fitts in the 1950s, this framework still serves to understand how we can best divide tasks between humans and machines.
Topics we dive into:
- What truly distinguishes human intelligence from artificial intelligence?
- Who performs better at which tasks – and why?
- How can humans and AI work together effectively in real-world scenarios?
Human strengths like creativity, empathy, adaptability, and ethical judgment meet AI strengths like speed, precision, and pattern recognition. We illustrate how these strengths complement one another and where each still has the upper hand.
From emotional robotics in elderly care to creative collaboration in furniture design, and from medical diagnostics to symphonic conducting by robots – this episode is packed with fascinating examples of real-world human-AI interaction.
The takeaway: We achieve the best outcomes when both humans and AI contribute their unique capabilities. Technology is here to stay – and the future lies in cooperation, not competition.
Join me as we decode the complex choreography between man and machine.
